Love Attack looks the form pick here and gets our vote ahead of Gallego and Komreyev Star. This daughter of Sri Pekan has put in two very good displays this season and looks to have been found an easy opportunity. She takes a slight step down in trip today which should help her cause and she looks the one to be on. Komreyev Star finished third behind two 60 rated horses at Newcastle last time. This is a step down in class and he looks certain to be involved in the finish. Gallego gained a deserved success last time and is another that should be there or thereabouts. Of the others Madame Fatale takes a step down in grade and could go well at decent odds, however Love Attack appears to have the strongest form on show and gets the decision.
